Helene Pennsylvania impacts
Even though the storm takes a big turn to the west, we still expect some moisture to impact us here in Pennsylvania as a result of Helene. The remnants of the storm will interact with another front in the atmosphere. This will keep clouds and stray showers in the forecast for Friday and possibly through the weekend.
